Biocatalysis Faculty Member Lynn Kamerlin and her Associate Faculty Member Klaudia Szeler came to visit us in the F1000 London office. Both are from Uppsala University, Sweden, where Lynn is an Associate Professor of Structural Biology. In the video below, Lynn and Klaudia talk about their research in computational biology, research that sits at the…
[pullquote]”We believe that if we can identify oligomers that can fold and function in the same ways as peptides and proteins do, these can be used for tremendous therapeutic benefit and would have the additional advantage of enhanced chemical diversity and enhanced stability in biological systems.”[/pullquote] Kent Kirshenbaum, professor of chemistry at New York University,…
The American Chemical Society recently announced the recipients of the 2015 National Awards, and we are pleased to be able to say that two of those recipients are from the F1000 Faculty. Professor Eric Kool, an F1000 Section Head in Chemical Biology, wins the 2015 Ronald Breslow Award for outstanding contributions to the field of…
We regretfully note the death of Carlos F. Barbas III, who passed away at the age of 49 last month after suffering from a rare form of medullary thyroid cancer. An award-winning and renowned organic chemist, Carlos worked towards developing novel drugs to treat human disease; among his accomplishments are the development of new classes…
Ned Seeman is the Margaret and Herman Sokol Professor of Chemistry at New York University, and one of the Section Heads for Biomimetic Chemistry in the Chemical Biology Faculty of F1000Prime. We were lucky enough to have Professor Seeman visit us at our London offices recently, and in this video he tells us of the…
We are delighted to congratulate Michael Levitt, F1000Prime Faculty Member in Structural Biology, on receiving the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Professor Levitt, who is currently based at the Stanford University School of Medicine and is well known for his pioneering work in computational structural biology, receives this accolade jointly with Arieh Warshel, former Faculty…
